I drive a red car and have only been pulled over once. And, let's just say, I deserved it.
Was that when you were singing along to Wicked?
(Oh, and HI!!! Chikat! I've got to call you soon!)
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hi, ChiKat!
How have you been? Do you have any updates on your school and your students and next year?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So I dunno if he stopped me because my car was red, because it was a sporty car, or because I was a FIB....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

FIB....

"FIBs" are what Cheeseheads call us Illinoisans. It stands for "fuckin' Illinois bastards/bitches". If they don't like how you're driving, you could hear "goddamn FIB!!" shouted at you as you're driving along.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The higher insurance on red cars is an urban myth.
So is the rate of traffic stops.

Always Anti-fascist!
I've got *nothing* for DisabilityNation next week. I mean, yeah, we took it up the butt in the new budget, but we *always* do that, even if things aren't that bad, so it's hard to get all "And now, as promised, a Special Comment," about that. And I hardly have crip Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha using me to work out their personal shit. I honestly considered milking the Alter FDR bio for two posts, but it is too short.

It's the transplanted Californians here in Utah, the ones who see a drift of white on the breeze and assume the Yukon Express is about to hit and that they must begin flailing in panic.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, I got my hair cut yesterday. Shoulder-length messy bob. Looks pretty good, I think.
Pretty good by Scrappy standards equals one hot rockin' mess of sex appeal for us lesser mortals. Of course you look good; you're Scrappy. Mentally I amend all the "Scrappy is wise" comments with "(and hot!)" If I was starting a band, or naming a snackfood I might have to use the name "The Wisenhots (like Scrappy)." It even makes a decent prayer. "Our Scrappy, who art both wise and hot..."
